What a spectacular, hidden gem! My wife and I just took a short trip to Miami for a few days, that the Kampong was one of the highlights. Amazing plants - unlike anything else I’ve seen here in the US and equally fascinating history (including the second oldest home in Miami still standing on its original foundations). It reminded me a bit of Cator Woolford Gardens in Atlanta, in that it’s a little known botanical secret that you will likely have all to your self. Also, as an unexpected bonus, it was pet-friendly so we could bring our little fur-ball (Tinker Bell the Shih Tzu) with us.
